New iCare system could appeal to Renault van insurance customers

Van insurance customers might have noted details of the Renault iCare system, which provides an in-vehicle button to contact specialists from the manufacturer when in need of assistance.

The company claims it provides certain administration and cost benefits - a positive that may grab the attention of drivers across the land.

In addition, users can communicate via a four-way system that allows for hands-free conversations with emergency services, home or depot centres.

The automotive brand suggests that iCare could be well received by small and medium-sized enterprises and larger firms due to its costs of 4.5p per mile.

Darren Payne, director of fleet and commercial vehicle operations at Renault UK, stated that the maintenance package gives consumers "the advantage that you only have to pay for the mileage that is actually covered, giving van operators a helping hand with spreading running costs, budgeting and giving them peace of mind".

Recently, the Auto Express Driver Power 2010 survey showed that the Renault Megane III reached fifth place in an assessment of 100 cars.
